COVE ENERGY
Speaking to newspersons at press conference to announce the 7{+t}{+h} Asia Gas Partnership Summit – AGPS 2012 – Mr B.C Tripathi, Chairman and Managing Director, GAIL, said that the company, along with its partner ONGC Videsh Ltd, was still evaluating whether to bid or not for Cove Energy. “We haven't yet made a decision…,” he said.
Recently, GAIL had informed the Bombay Stock Exchange that in association with its partner, it was contemplating participation in the formal sale process being run by Cove Energy Plc. However, it clarified that no decision had been made by the consortium whether to make an offer for Cove or the price at which any such offer may be made.
“Therefore, there can be no certainty that the consortium will make an offer for Cove, or as to the terms of any offer. However, if an offer for Cove were to be made by the consortium, it would be made in cash,” GAIL had said.
